| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: I have a 1999 chevy tahoe. the steering wheel jerks itself like someone grabs the steering wheel. it is very noticeable on two lane curvy roads. it feels like the truck hits a patch of ice. i have not had it repaired yet but was told by a service adviser that my truck has speed sensitive steering - it has an electrical wire hooked to the power steering pump to provide slow driving assistance. i am told that it sounds like the sensor or evo sensor for this system is bad. i have replaced the power steering pump to no avail. my step daughter has a 1997 chevy 1/2 ton pick up with the same problem. she has had dobbs auto disconnect the system. i think this is very dangerous especially if you over- correct when the pressure changes or briefly gives way as i would describe. i wonder how many crashes are caused do to this gremlin in the steering system. the service manager as my local chevy dealer seems to be aware of this problem. *nm |
